Re: Question for group on Pull stations?

["Andrew Buchanan" <drewber@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You also use the aux. contact on the pull stations by the doors with mag
locks (if any) to provide a local release.  The locks are supposed to drop
as soon as the fire alarm trips, however like its been mentioned if you need
to evacuate before the fire alarm is set off by another device or the system
fail somehow and the emerg dr is maged, you could be toast.
